And The Winner Is......

drum roll please..............

The sixth comment was from Busy Bee Suz at Day by Day.

 Suz even picked a fictitious fact, which was number one.   Hello, Grandma J doesn't need classes to learn how to decorate JJ!

Also,  Grandma J never played a musical instrument.  OK, she played the harmonica because someone gave her one.

She never had a job for just one day because you can't collect unemployment until you pass probation, can you??

All the floods happened, and yes, she crossed the Mississippi six times.  She crossed the Red River too, which is called the Muddy River on some maps just to confuse me.

Congratulations to Busy Bee Suz!! Let me know which gift you want....PetSmart or Day Care at Pouncing Paws.

What The Heck Do We Win?

When Grandma J decided to have a welcome back to my blog contest, she wanted to award the winner with a fabulous prize that wasn't a KitchenAid mixer  thoughtless average gift.  With that in mind she wracked her brain to figure out what would make her happy if she won it. After all, her friends mean a lot to her.  So, this is what she came up with for the winner's prize!

You will have your choice of  the following:

1.  A $25 gift card to PetSmart where you can buy toys for your pet, get them groomed, get obedience classes, or check out the line of Martha Stewart products for your pet.

2.  Or.....the winner can receive three full days of romping with JJ at  Pouncing Paws Doggie Day Care.  Pictured is JJ with a few of his pals in the small dog playroom.   Yes, I know there seems to be a big dog
in the picture....but that's Hank, and Hank is JJ's buddy....and his pillow at nap time.  The play yard is equipped with toys and playground equipment, with wadding pools and shade umbrellas in the summer.  It's truly a dogs world!
FYI, JJ is going bananas because he sees my car.....



Decisions, decisions....I know, it's hard to pick between the two.   You have until Friday to enter the contest in the post below.
In the meantime, there are so many adventures to tell you about.  Stay tuned because I'm back for good!

JJ's First Day at Doggie Day Care
......or the day Grandma J bawled her eyes out

JJ started doggie day care today at Pouncing Paws.  This is the same place where JJ gets groomed.

Pouncing Paws is the grooming place that clips JJ's paws by hand with scissors because he freaks out when electric clippers come anywhere near his little footsies.  

Remember that's the very reason Grandma J left the last groomers.  They were all men....not JJ's favorite people, and they muzzled JJ when they buzzed his paws, and they made JJ cry....UN.ACCEPT.ABLE.

Before  JJ could start doggie day care, all sorts of paperwork had to be filled out, and background checks done.

Here is a copy of JJ's background check, complete with mug shot.

On the way to JJ's first day at doggie day care, Grandma J told him all about the fun he would have, and the friends he would make. 

A high level of excitment filled the air....and the car.

We pulled right up to the front of the building.    Word was out that JJ was coming because some of his classmates were waiting with gnarling teeth bated breath when we showed up.  

Luckily this isn't the entrance door...it's just a door that pretends to be a window in the "big boys" playroom.

JJ is paid up for ten play dates.  Grandma J is so happy he's going to make friends.  Maybe he can have his birthday party there.  They do those at Pouncing Paws, yes they do.
